I imagine that the building skills are quickly learnt, and that this
would be rather laborious.

Cool. :-)

Excellent.

The most common usage is for a wireless link between a headset and
mobile phone, or variations such as with high-end cars' built-in hands
free mic & speaker.

I guess Lego are behind schedule in documenting this.

The phone may allow you to "pair" with a NXT Brick, but I think you will
need to install software that understands how to talk to the NXT.
Either native software (e.g. Nokia Series 60, Palm or Windows Mobile),
or Java.
I have not seen MDP members speak about this yet, I guess an NDA still
applies.

If my NXT arrives today I will be looking at Bluetooth comms in the next
week.
By the way, do you have the retail NXT (8527) or the Educational kit
(9797)? I have not seen any description of the educational software,
and am unclear how it differs from the NXT-G supplied with the retail
kits.
